Elizabeth s house is fabulous. In the heart of Manningtree. Super clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We couldn t have found a better place to stay and it made our trip. Thanks again Elizabeth xx Karen

Karen2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Thank you for hosting our family. We had a lovely stay in your accomodation, which is an urban house styled like a hunting lodge...

Ansgar2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

The house is set in a lovely little town with all you need from a little tesco express too some nice pubs. We can definately recommend the crowns beer garden where you can sit and watch the tide come in. The house was clean and tidy with some nice touches and good facilities, highly recommeneded

mat2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very welcoming and cosy. Elizabeth was prompt and easy to reach. Great value for money!

Matt2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

Elizabeth's house is just as described. The pictures don't do it justice. It's a beautiful old house with big high ceilings, a change from our very old farm cottage. Tastefully decorated and with pretty much everything you could need in the house, it sits in a a very nice village. The village also has plenty to offer in the way of food outlets and pubs etc. If you don't want to drive, then just go for a long walk along the Estuary. Lovely. Even though there is a pub next door, it shouldn't put you off with the the thought of noise. We stayed midweek, Monday to Friday and didn't hear a thing. Manningtree is well placed for exploring the Essesx and South Suffolk Coast. We had a great time! Thank you again.

A Georgian house over looking the River Stour, Mistley. Ideally situated for exploring local Constable country and enjoying the scenic walks and country pubs.

The room is situated on the lower-ground floor with access to the courtyard and walled garden. The space offers one double garden room and a private bathroom with power shower and free standing tub bath.

A very nice B&B, with a fine view over the river Stour. Sally welcomed us, made sure we were comfortable and made us a great English breakfast in the morning. The room was furnished with antique and the bathroom is one of the finest you will ever see in a B&B. The location is great, perfectly located to discover Essex and Suffolk. For us it was a great final night in UK before taking the day ferry to NL. Harwich is really close by. Highly recommended!

Thank you Sally for looking after me so well. Throughly enjoyed your hosting, company and fine breakfast. You made me very welcome in your lovely and interesting home

Andrew2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay with Sally. She was very welcoming, easy to deal with and very responsive. The room is very comfortable and clean, with a lovely outlook onto the garden. The house was lovely and well presented and is an easy walk from the station. We also enjoyed walking around the Mistley and Manningtree area. Thanks again

Krista2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

A hidden gem! We had a wonderful stay at East Cliff House; superb service, romantic bedlinen and a gorgeous bathroom. Sally is a perfect host and provides good advices for the area and wonderful home cooked breakfast, which we enjoyed in the cosy garden. All this is topped up with the possibility of buying art and antiques, which we also took advantage of - we'll be back :-)

Morten2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

We had a really lovely stay at East Cliff House. The accommodation is excellent, clean and really well appointed throughout. The bed was really comfy, and there was enough room in the bedroom to comfortably fit the travel cot for our son. Breakfast was delightful and filled us up for a long morning. Sally was a fantastic host. We felt welcome and looked after and we even got to enjoy our breakfast while she entertained our son! We wouldn't hesitate to come back if we are in the area.

Lydia2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Melanie was responsive to questions when booking and during our stay. She was welcoming and there was a remarkably well stocked fridge to welcome us too - smoked salmon and ham, cheese, bread, juice, butter, tomatoes, berries and cookies. Quirky is how I would describe the flat, with unique artwork and decor. I prefer minimal decor but there were no surprises - the listing was as described in words and pictures. I was booking last minute. I couldn't figure out the heat and Mel responded to my call within 5 minutes and we were soon toasty again. I forget the description of the kitchen. It is minimal but workable. The addition of a microwave would be helpful, especially when there are just 2 burners for cooking. I booked a place in Manningtree because it was convenient for 2 gardens my fiend and I were visiting. Beyond the location, Maningtree had little to recommend it for my taste, we found it rather dismal and unnattractive, but I chose it for its location not its beauty. My favorite thing about the listing was the bath tub. I love a good long tub with a comfy slope for reclining and this one was above par. Coupled with an endless supply of hot water on demand, it was a luxurious treat. The garden is delightful too, complete with table and chairs.

Anna2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

A friendly couple with a great quirky anex/cottage in a lovely area we was checking out as a possible place to live. An open fire with a record player and lots of ob je da to look at while sitting on chais longe. Comfy bed and nice bathroom with basic kitchen and dining area. A great place to stay, with lots of places to eat and drink and walk near by all feeling very safe.

Adam2016-10-29T00:00:00Z

Really lovely comfy place - definitely recommend. Full of interesting pictures, books, furniture and other nick-nacs. Lots of character and a great base from which to explore the local area. We ate at the Mistly Thorn which is a 20min walk away and as good a meal as we've had in ages.

Guests have their own private bathroom next to the bedroom.

Lovely comfortable room and excellent hosts. Highly recommended staying at Sarah's if you're in the area.

Michael2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Sarah answered my inquiry quickly and was very helpful. Although the train station of Manningtree was within 15 minutes walk, Sarah kindly offered to meet me on my arrival - and despite train delays, she was very flexible and was there as I stepped off the train! A short drive to the house - which is situated in the town, close to pubs, shops, supermarket and restaurants. Sarah made me feel at home immediately! I was given a key to the back door which meant flexibility without disturbing the main household. I entered a lovely courtyard with entrance to a well equipped shared kitchen and dining room. The house I believe was built in 17th century and has the most amazing and tranquil vibe with exposed beams and low ceilings - yet it feels bright and airy. I mostly had this area to myself and enjoyed a good breakfast each morning, left out for me by Sarah, and a delicious homemade Victoria sponge cake! I arrived at night and needed to head off on foot the following morning, so after a cup of tea, Sarah offered to give me a guided tour - taking me past restaurant options and showing me where I needed to go for the following day. My room and private bathroom were lockable from the inside and could be reached by exiting the dining room and taking a small winding staircase up. It was all very lovely, homely, warm and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had wipes and soaps and moisturiser (handy if I forgot anything). I really felt as if I had known Sarah for a very long time as she was so accommodating and approachable. I was left to my own devices and my time there went too fast! I enjoyed learning of the history of the Witchfinder General who left his mark on this village with some gruesome tales and ghost stories! Sarah once again kindly offered to drive me to the Station to see me on my travels home. I will definitely return , possibly with my dog next time. I would highly recommend Sarah and her lovely home. My first airbnb experience! Thank you

Tracey2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

This is a charming place to stay - an ideal location in the centre of Manningtree, but it's very quiet. The bedroom and private bathroom are delightful and the bed is very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious too. Sarah is a very warm and welcoming host and l would highly recommend staying here.

Johanna2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Lovely place to stay, and lovely hosts. Unfortunately our stay was too short but would really recommend to stay here. Best breakfast ever!

Elaine2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

We had a party at The Red Lion pub so couldnt believe our luck that there was somewhere opposite that we could stay. Parking is a bit restricted, however we were lucky enough to get a space virtually outside. Room was lovely and just as described and we were able to take our dog which was great. Fab breakfast the following morning - would stay again and recommend - thank you!

Ruth was a great host. She is very friendly, helpful and a good communicator. Her beautiful home is in a fantastic location in Manningtree, within 5 minutes walking distance from the centre of the town and beautifully situated right opposite the water. The room was spotlessly clean and the beds super comfy. I highly recommend this host and I would definitely stay here again.

Liz2016-06-17T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay in a lovely home, in a great area, with a host who was very helpful. We would have like to stay longer.

We stayed here while between homes - we had sold locally but our purchase was not yet ready for completion. We chose it because my husband commutes from Manningtree, so the location was vital. It is a sweet little place, a bit small for our requirements but suitable for a couple or single person. Daniella was very sweet, though there more than a few requirements she requested of us during the stay to help maintain the property. She contacted us regularly to check that everything was ok and talk through the details of the house. It's clearly her second home and she stores lots of personal items here, so very limited space for our own things. I didn't mind too much as it was daily life as usual for us, but if we had been staying here for a relaxing holiday break we would have liked more space and less requirements. Having said that, Daniella was very helpful and made several allowances for us at what was for us a difficult time.

The Old Piggery is a 5 minute walk to the beach with incredible views looking onto the river Stour estuary. As a new build it is modern, open plan layout with large French windows in both the living area and each bedroom, filling the house with natural light. Wood burning stove & underfloor heating creates a cosy setting to relax & dine in.

The huge windows fill the house with light, and the beach is very close and there are other good walks around the vicinity. There is a Reservoir with sailing amenities very close. You can also hire bikes from there.
the house is in the heart of Constable country so there are lots of sites to visit. Flatford mill and Dedham are well worth a visit, and rowing boats can be hired.

Local well stocked village shop is a 10 minute stroll away. There are 2 pubs within 10 minutes walk also, The Kings Head is our personal favourite.

Beautiful location and fabulous views from every room. Accommodation very spacious and finished to a high standard. Great walks from the doorstep and lots to see in the local area. Had a great weekend here would definitely recommend and would go back again. Thank you.

We had a fabulous few days at The Old Piggery. The view of the river is amazing with a variety of wildlife visiting the garden. The accommodation is second to none.

We're just tidying up ready to leave and we are sad to be going! The Piggery is fantastic. Lovely accommodation, just as described and the most wonderful views. Could not have been better. Opportunity for whole family to get together and everyone loved it. Butt and Oyster recommendation, best place for lunch yesterday! Loved it. Thank you Jash for making it so easy.

The cottage was lovely and very comfortable. Janet has obviously put a lot of time and effort into making sure one feels at home. We especially appreciated the information booklet on the area, the ginger cookies, and the pint of milk in the fridge! I'd recommend this to anyone looking to relax for a few days while visiting Dedham and the surrounding areas.

I thoroughly enjoyed the three nights I spent at chestnut cottage. The location is great (only a short walk to flatford) and close to the village of east bergholt which has a well stocked shop, pub and cafe. It is a short drive to another stunning village called Dedham and within easy reach of Ipswich and Colchester. The flat itself is modern, spacious and clean. It's really got everything you need for a comfortable trip. There was also an extensive information folder which provided activity suggestions and places to eat. A quaint little garden provides space to eat outside and soak up the sunny weather. I would be delighted to return to the cottage and would recommend it highly.

Gaye and Alan were very welcoming and let us leave our bags early so that we could explore the area. This is in the beautiful Constable country with stunning views right from his landscapes,many of which are unchanged after 200 years. On our return they gave us some very welcome tea and biscuits which they shared with us and we're very natural and friendly. We ate at an excellent restaurant which they had recommended. The house and our room were quite lovely. The bed was not only attractive but extremely comfortable. I'm not a great sleeper but I slept like a top! We woke to a lovely cooked breakfast. We couldn't have enjoyed it more.

The en-suite bedroom is very large with a most comfortable bed to guarantee a good nights sleep . The dining area is delightful and the breakfast is superb. Gaye is an excellent host who went out of her way to be helpful. They had the most wonderful stay here and would recommend it highly!!

Hosts made me extremely welcome in their very lovely home and I enjoyed a good chat with them. I was in the area on business so really just wanted to work a bit and have a good night's sleep; both successfully achieved. Definitely had the impression that had I wanted help on the local area, I'd have been given lots of help. Bed was lovely and big and had an excellent mattress! Room spacious, bright and clean. Fab shower. Extremely peaceful and so slept like a baby. Suited me down to the ground. Best pubs for eating are a short drive away but there is a friendly pub round the corner that is just fine and that has a nice garden to sit in.

Sarah2015-08-08T00:00:00Z

We were welcomed warmly by Gaye and Allan, and had a brilliant stay in their beautiful house. The en suite room we stayed in was stylishly decorated, bathroom was very modern and clean. Gaye provided a very tasty breakfast - we felt like we had a boutique hotel experience for an Air Bnb price!

The rooms are peaceful, clean and cosy. Both Heloise and Natalie were charming, welcomed us very warmly and made us feel very at home, and gave us good tips about things to do and places to eat nearby. Homemade breakfast with honey from the garden's own bees was a treat. Thank you for a lovely stay!

You’ll love my place because of the location, the beautiful countryside and historic villages, comfy beds, peaceful nights and the cosiness. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers (such as cyclists), business travellers, and families (with kids).

It’s a spacious double bedroom with an en suite bathroom with shower. Located in a family house on a private drive providing off road parking in the heritage village of East Bergholt, famous as the birthplace and home of the artist John Constable. Also available with this booking is a separate bedroom with 1 or 2 single beds and use of a separate bathroom (only shared if there are family visitors). Please contact for pricing.

East Bergholt is a heritage village in south Suffolk, well served by four pubs, a village shop and a wonderful bakery. Both it and the nearby hamlet of Flatford with its famous mill on the river Stour provided the settings for many of John Constable's paintings and these locations can still be seen today. There are amazing views over the Stour Valley and Dedham Vale, which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

If you are looking for a spacious,comfortable room with own bathroom in an amazing house and garden, with very friendly and helpful hosts and lovely cats, in a quite and picturesque surrounding countryside THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! Thank you so much, Jenny and Simon, for making my stay so easy and comfortable!

Jenny's place is in a beautiful quiet location (make sure you follow directions carefully though, as it can be quite hard to find!) with lovely and extensive gardens. Large and immaculate bedroom and ensuite with tea and coffee on offer, breakfast served in delightful conservatory, three nice cats a bonus. Jenny and her husband are interesting and very friendly people who are generous with their time and conversation. Altogether excellent hosts, and highly recommended.

Lovely home and garden, and Jenny and Simon are friendly, helpful and interesting hosts. Jenny offered a most pleasing and welcome light breakfast in the conservatory each morning, including orange juice, delicious bread and even a cafetiere and proper coffee. Jenny is also great for local advice, and provided nice touches like torches to help us find our way at night. Great, quiet room with en-suite shower room (inc good strong shower), big TV and super-comfy memory foam bed. Highly recommended if you're looking for a cosy base to explore the Bergholt, Dedham and Flatford areas.

Modernised 1920's bungalow mixing old and new with a collection of treasure and objects for a relaxed and exciting stay. One gorgeous master suite with double ended bath and open fire. A double mattress on the floor if wanted in the attic, a double bedroom with walk in wardrobe and snug single bedroom with wardrobe. We are at the top of the Dedham Vale so if the wind is coming this way it can be chilly so wrap up warm - but we do have an open fire in the sitting room and a mini bar-b fire pit to move around the garden or just use near the view facing verandah in the evening watching the sun go down.

Great quiet location with just one house either side of us on the lane facing the view.
Commuting is an hour into the City from here (Manningtree is a £10 cab drive away) so perfect if you want a month in the country to paint, go to yoga, walk, cycle, write etc. Here you have space, peace and big skies. Maybe you just need a change of scenery or a great stay cation ... this place is truly uplifting.
PLEASE note the garden is not fenced and there is no gate, so children must be supervised if they are inclined to wander. There is garden on 3 sides of the house. A lobby links the front to the back at one side, great for wellies and coats.
The driveway is a TIGHT turn at the top so please take care and practise slowly squeezing into the corner to get down the driveway. (We couldn't bare to cut the fir tree down to widen the turning area!)

Cate's place was perfect for our stay - the house was even more beautiful, and the scenery even more picturesque, than we could have imagined. Cate was super helpful throughout and we hope we will be back one day! Thanks for having us.

Cate and her sister Fran were super hosts. The house was smart, nicely decorated and very comfortable for a couple and 2-3 children. And certainly could fit more as stated. The view across to Dedham church tower is lovely, a picture postcard setting with all the comforts of home. There is a spacious front lawn with badminton racquets to amuse adults and children alike. Cate had kindly left us some croissants and essentials like milk and cereals. Thumbs up from our 3 day stay and would love to return on future visits

Great place in a beautiful spot!

Hello, We stayed at the Flatford Lodge for 11 days and have experienced exceptional times. The places are beautiful and very well located. And what about the warm welcome and the availability of our host. This house is very cozy, well appointed and everything has been thought to make us spend pleasant moments. We will return for sure.

Located in the heart of Constable Country, Orchard Barn offers a large en-suite double room - available for bed and breakfast or short-term rents. Located on the Essex/Suffolk border - just one hour by train to London .

We are a modern barn with all the amenities one would expect from a small boutique hotel. You have your own private access and can come and go freely, without worrying about invading anybody else's space. However, we openly welcome you into our family home if you would prefer to learn more about us and the beautiful area we live in.

We live in the most beautiful part of Suffolk, on the border with Essex, with easy access into London. We are part of an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), with Dedham and Flatford right on the doorstep and the coastal towns on Aldeburgh and Southwold within 1/2 hours drive.

The description was accurate and the room felt welcoming and had everything that we needed. The surroundings were very pleasant and had a great meal in a pub across the road. Everything was clean and tidy. A lovely breakfast was provided the next morning with nothing too much trouble and some good advice about where to visit.

Beautiful locations and a lovely home with all the amenities. Comfortable and restful.

Alison2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

We were warmly welcomed by Rebecca and her family and our room and bathroom in a private area of the house was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and appreciated the kind gesture of some fruit cake and tea making facilities on arrival. Our yummy English breakfast was served at a time to suit us before we set off to enjoy Flatford Mill area - very much worth a visit. We highly recommend Rebecca's home as a place of good value. Thank you!

Tony2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

I am very happy with the room and service. Everything was great!

Elene2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Rebecca was a fantastic host with a wonderful room to rent. The place was clean and tidy, exactly as listed and the breakfast was lovely! All communication was clear and quick and we couldn't have asked for mor. Thank you!

Adam2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

Our stay was incredibly comfortable, Rebecca and Chris were really welcoming and the room was beautifully presented. We were delighted with how spacious it was and it was lovely to have the opportunity to sit outside in the garden and enjoy the peace and quiet. The fridge in the room was a nice touch and the shower was excellent! Rebecca cooked us a proper full English both mornings which was spot on and we really appreciated their local knowledge and warnings of road closures! Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend staying with them.

Comfortable, very clean and convenient for exploring Constable Country and some interesting village history. Very friendly hosts, good breakfast. Excellent shower!

Koren2017-01-15T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful base in the very pretty and tranquil hamlet of East Bergholt, from which to explore "Constable Country", Suffolk/Essex and East Anglia in general. A comfortable bedroom, with an adjoining private modern bathroom, within an active family home. Becca was a very welcoming host, and hearty "full English" breakfasts fuelled the excellent walking and exploring opportunities in the region.

A fantastic and enchanting property with ample space and history and an altogether stunning master bedroom. Situated in a fantastic little town with nearby amenities and attractions; the house is a perfect weekend getaway with friends. The top floor provides an interesting layout full of quirks and the contact and communication was easy and excellent too. Parking was fine and all 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay here too. There is a pub directly next door to enjoy also - and whilst the weather was pretty dark and dismal; this did not dampen our spirits at all. A great weekend, lovely house and accurate listing in a beautiful area. Thanks for an awesome time!

A beautiful house in a lovely location. Louise was very helpful and prompt with all her replies. The house is cosy and comfortable with some great period features and fantastic walks around. Stay here of you like history. Thanks Louise.

Maryann and John2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful family retreat here. Louise was a great host and provided everything we needed. The place is a beautifully converted candle factory set in an idillyic village.

Alice2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing time at The Tallow Factory in Dedham. The house is spacious, clean and beautifully decorated and well-equipped. The house's fascinating history also added to the overall experience. Louise was so helpful in the run up to the weekend. She recommended, Lucy, an excellent Yoga teacher and a local masseuse, both of whom naturally helped us unwind and completely relax into the beautiful surroundings. There are excellent pubs, a co-op and lovely walks all close by. We were also able to hire rowing boats from The Boathouse restaurant, only a 6 minute walk away. I would definitely go back. Thank you!

Tanya2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

This is a fantastic house in a great location and we really enjoyed our long weekend. The garden was just lovely and we appreciated being able to BBQ in the evenings. Louise was extremely helpful - thanks Louise!

Julie2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

This is a really lovely house in the centre of the village, minutes walk from the shop and 2 pubs. It's large, clean and comfortable with a large garden. I would recommend staying here.
